For quite some time, a debate has raged over the memorialization of symbols linked to the Confederacy, i.e. the South in the 1861 - 1965 U.S. Civil War. Culture, media and academia, all in the mainstream, have played an important role, generally pushing the idea that Confederate symbols represent treason, violence, hate, bigotry and racism.
